Questions about choosing a format

How do I choose the right AI content format?

Choose according to how the audience should receive the idea. Use an infographic for at-a-glance relationships, a carousel for progressive slide-by-slide reading, a web page for durable context and reference, and a short video when motion, narration, or timing adds meaning.

Can the same source material become more than one format?

Yes. One research set or article can support several outputs, but each format needs a different edit. An infographic selects visible relationships, a carousel creates sequence, a web page preserves context, and a short video reduces the material to beats that can move in time.

Do all formats use the same number of credits?

No. Current generation costs are 12 credits for an infographic or single image, 20 for a carousel, 40 for a web page, and 50 for a short video. Costs are shown before generation and listed on the pricing page.
